Translating medical devices: A rule-driven game
Author: Karen M. Tkaczyk
Abstract
Translation for medical devices often presents a unique set of challenges arising from the products’ complex natures and associated regulatory requirements. Beyond medical expertise, linguists – from translators and editors to bilingual quality assessors – may require strong software localisation skills and knowledge of intricate engineering topics. Supply chain audits related to medical devices can, in many cases, demand more extensive compliance measures for language service providers than those required by most other clients.
